![]() ![]() Currently producing mines in the area include the Rambler base metal-gold mine (1961-present), located 14 km ESE of Baie Verte, and the Pine Cove and Stogertite mines (collectively, 2011-present) located 1.6 km and 5.4 km NE of the current property. Former gold mining operations in the area include the Goldenville mine (of 1903-1906), located 8 km NE of the property, and the more recent Nugget Pond mine (1997-2000) of the eastern Baie Verte Peninsula area. The former Terra Nova base metal mine – one of several copper mines of the region, which operated during the late 1880’s to early 1900’s – lies 200 meters west of Leocor’s Copper Creek claims. The Baie Verte Peninsula represents one of the more productive and historical gold and base metal mining districts in Canada. The reported work will be completed using industry standard procedures, including a quality assurance/quality control (“QA/QC”) program consisting of the insertion of certified standard, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream.įigure 3 – Regional Setting of the Baie Verte Project ![]() If Au results were >10 g/t a second 30-gram charge will be used for a standard fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Gold will be analyzed for by AA-AU23 using a 30-gram charge for a standard fire assay with an AA finish. A 0.5 gram cut of the pulp will be analyzed by ME-ICP41, an aqua regia digestion followed by ICP-AES analysis for 35 elements. The entire sample will be crushed to 70% passing -2 mm and then splitting off and pulverizing a 250-gram split to 85% passing -75 microns. The pulps are analyzed with the AQ201+U method, dissolving 15 grams in Aqua Regia and analyzed for 37 elements by ICP-MS technique.Īll rock, GT Probe, and RAB samples will be prepared and analyzed by ALS Global Laboratories of Moncton, NB. The pulps are air couriered shipped to Bureau Veritas Labs in Vancouver, British Columbia. Samples are dried at 60 degrees Celsius and sieved to -80 mesh. The soils samples for the program are prepared at Eastern Analytical Laboratories. Initial RAB drilling on the target will focus on a series of NE trending semi-massive to massive sulfide (pyrite-chalcopyrite) identified during recent follow up exploration on the trend. The northern area of the trend is defined by a 500m x 1000m copper anomaly associated with anomalous zinc (+/-gold) indicative of VMS style mineralization similar to the historic Terra Nova Mine located approximately 1.5km to the west. The Copper Creek Trend consists of 2 km northeast trending Cu-Au soil anomaly(s) with highs of 2860 ppb Cu and 867 ppb Au. (2) See NFLD Assessment GeoFile 012H/16/1127 by MacDougall dated April 1989. The historic work included grab samples of up to 30 g/t Au and drilling results of 1.0 g/t Au over 7 m (2) and is associated with a series of meter-scale quartz veins with pyrite-arsenopyrite. The target was historically called the ‘Albatross Target’ and was previously trenched and drilled by Noranda in the late 1980’s. The FMB Trend (Five Mile Brook Trend) is located 4km SSW of Baie Verte, less than 1km off of the main highway and consists of a 2km gold-arsenic soil anomaly associated with sheared and strongly contact of ultramafic and metavolcanic units with rock samples up to 1.31 g/t Au.Ĭopper Creek Southwest is located approximately 750m west kilometer of the Gunshot target and consists of a 1km NE trending soil anomaly with values up to 1135 ppb Au.
